LSR: Focus Areas

LegalSportsReport covers a variety of topics that intersect with online sports betting. But we focus on a few primary areas of coverage, areas that make up the bulk of the content on LSR.

Daily Fantasy Sports

LegalSportsReport began as a site aimed at analyzing the daily fantasy sports industry in the United States, and that's where much of our focus remains today. We are especially interested in the legal and legislative conversations surrounding DFS, and also in the underlying economics of the daily fantasy sports industry. Additionally, we cover general industry developments, including product innovations, marketing trends, and related topics.

Regulated / Legal U.S. Sports Betting

Closely connected to the issue of daily fantasy sports is the issue of regulated sports betting in the United States. Right now, the majority of legal sports betting in the U.S. takes place in Nevada, so much of our coverage on this area revolves around the Silver State. But the topic of legal sports betting is arising in more and more states, and also gaining traction on the federal level, developments that we'll be watching closely as they unfold over the coming months.

The Global Sports Betting Market

In many ways, the global sports online betting market, led by operators like bet365, provides a template for the market that is likely to eventually evolve for sports betting in the United States. And many of the companies that dominate the international sports betting market - such as William Hill - are poised to become key players in the US sports betting market should the market become legal and regulated.
